Animal lovers are up in arms after a woman describing herself as a "hardcore huntress" posted images of herself holding a rifle and beaming as she posed with the body of a lion she had apparently just killed.

Close to 90,000 people have signed the Change.org document, which describes Bachman as "an absolute contradiction to the culture of conservation".

The letter, addressed to Mkuseli Apleni, director general of South Africa's Department of Home Affairs, Bomo Edna Molewa at the Ministry of Water and Environmental Affairs, and Lakela Kaunda from the private office of the president, adds: "Her latest Facebook post features her with a lion which she has just executed and murdered in our country.

"As tax payers we demand she no longer be granted access to this country and its natural resources."

The petition received more than 13,000 signatures in less than 24 hours.

There has been no response from Bachman on this latest petition as yet and the facility to contact her through her website was also disabled at time of press. HuffPo UK has contacted her via other means and we await her response.
